Only the Falcon knows where the wind is going

Philosophical Summary

It posits that spiritual 'vision' is not magic, but the result of assuming a wide, non-emotional perspective. It counsels the seeker to 'ascend' (meditate/research) to understand the direction of their life.

Meaning

Hidden trends are only visible to those who have the courage to step away from the center of the action.
